EAD Renewal finally approved EB1 NBC
Hi Everyone,
Never thought that I will write on my EAD renewal experience. Was always thinking that I will post my story once I get my I485 approved.
But the whole process I went through on EAD renewal, makes me to feel that I need to do the justice, for the knowledge and guidance that got from this Forum.
Employment based I485 applicant:
Service center: NBC
Application received date for EAD renewal: 12/10/2018
Existing EAD expired date: 5/23/2019
One good thing I did was, I applied for my EAD and travel document renewal very well ahead of time; 5 months before the existing EAD expiry date. That is the reason why I haven’t lost my job still.
Long silence till July 30th and the anxiety that I was going through cannot be described by words. Then I decided to act on it. Raised service requests for I765 & I131 being outside the normal processing timeline; then called USCIS and explained them about my potential financial loss and my family situation(I had a need travel to my home country).
I insisted to talk to a Tier 2 officer as it is already been almost 8 months. The Tier 1 officer got convinced surprisingly and said that I will receive a call in a day from Tier 2 level of officer. As said, got a call from them and he said he will submit the expedite request.
Also mentioned that I would receive a response within 2 weeks and I may have to fax the evidence of expediting my request if needed (Wait… Expediting my request?? It was already 8 whole months since I applied for renewal!!) But yeah, I was pleased with his response.
Expedite request was placed on 2nd August
Got a generic response saying my expedite request is been looked into; USCIS would get back with a decision shortly- Received on 12th of August.
Got the magic message saying “EAD card is in production” on 15th of August.
What a day for an Indian!!
Now early waiting for the card to arrive.
In mid of these 3 weeks, I would have had at least 5 chats with USCIS representative via EMMA; I kept following up to check on the status of service requests I raised and expedite request that the 2nd Tier office raised.
Friends, all I got to say here is, Do not sit back and wait for things to happen on its own. If you are in a real need, then just push yourself, do whatever it takes and get your job done. When you aim for something with whole heart and mind, the universe will respond to you; I have experienced this multiple times. So don't lose hope.
This forum is just awesome! Such a good knowledge repository for Green Card seekers.
I wish you all good luck and pray that your applications shall get processed soon.
